Aurangzeb's successor, Bahadur Shah I, fought for power and control over the Mughal Empire. After Aurangzeb's death in 1707, there was a power struggle among his sons and grandsons to claim the throne. Bahadur Shah I emerged victorious and became the emperor, but he faced opposition from rival claimants and regional powers who sought to challenge his authority. This led to a series of conflicts and battles as different factions vied for control of the empire.
